How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
In this interview,
Amanda Silver, a Lead Program Manager on the
Visual Basic Team, demonstrates new LINQ syntax around Joins and Aggregates that is now available in Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. Amanda is a guru of LINQ in Visual Basic and gives insightful explanations of how to use this new syntax. Also check out new
How Do I videos on LINQ
to help get you started with LINQ in Visual Basic. More are added weekly!!
The interview starts out a little funny because the first 20 seconds of my video tape got chewed up so we had to reshoot the intro later in the day. Amanda thought of a funny way to make the transition as you'll see. See if you can pinpoint the movie that inspired her!

Beth's Screencasts are awesome. I'd love to see more screencasts mixed in this way. Very nice experience for the audience. In fact, I do know that more C9 screencasters will be creating a similar style of mixed motion and still video.
Thanks, Beth!
Keep on posting,

I better like the charles kinda interview for this kind of stuff.
BUT If its got to be a screencast rather than an interview, then this is awesome. Quite high quality on the video compression.
Thanks Amanda for this stunning demonstration. Frankly I can't wait to start developing with the new version of VB, although LINQ seems to be drastic change in the language that requires spending more time on it.
I hope Amanda that there is a chance to demonstrate Interoperability between WPF and windows forms 2.0 as all Microsoft resources concentrates on C# [C]
Thanks, very nice video.
Amazing stuff! when I think back to the days of say VB6 this would have been thought impossible (almost).
And then we saw VS 2003 etc. which was 'amazing' back then.
I cannot believe that things have come this far! This functionality will definitely benefit business application developers like myself tons!
I just can't decide where I would use these new data functionality... in my data access or business tier ....
Thanks again for the vid, these kind are great where you can see the presenters in the small window while the code is rolling!
Bye
Thanks again,
-Beth

I really like the format that puts the VS2008 environment foremost and the people as picture-in-picture.
The idea is outstanding. The entire show is worth of ton thanks..
clap .. clap .. clap ..

Does anyone else have the same problem as I do when watching this video. Namely the code screen is blurred, so much so that the text is unreadable. When the camera shot is away frm the code screen the video is fine.
Cheers Tony
